Abstract

We assessed temporal changes in the household secondary attack rate of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and identified risk factors for transmission in vulnerable Latino households of Baltimore, Maryland. The household secondary attack rate was 45.8%, and it appeared to increase as the alpha variant spread, highlighting the magnified risk of spread in unvaccinated populations.
